SC throws out Brogya Genfi’s suit against Ghana-US Cooperation deal

The Supreme Court of Ghana has dismissed a suit filed by a private citizen that asked the court to set aside the agreement ratified by Parliament between Ghana and the United States over a military cooperation deal.
The apex court took a unanimous decision in dismissing the case on the grounds that they lacked merit.
The court, on Tuesday, 5 April 2020 indicated that the full details of the ruling are expected to be made known on or before 20 May 2020.
The case was filed by a former Ashanti Regional Youth Organiser of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Yaw Brogya Genfi.
Brogya Gyenfi had argued that the government breached several laws in its bid to have the controversial Ghana-US military agreement ratified.
As part of the reliefs that were being sought, the applicant wanted a declaration that the Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul, acted in contravention of the 1992 Constitution when he caused to be laid before Parliament an executive draft of the supposed defence cooperation agreement for ratification under Article 75 of the 1992 Constitution.
